Chapter 3: Conflict or Confusion

On what appeared to be an unremarkable day, Arina, filled with curiosity, embarked on an exploratory journey, determined to uncover the town's hidden secrets. Meanwhile, Melody and Amarys prepared for another day at school, while Evrim, despite being a year older, had successfully secured admission to the same school as Amarys.

Walking side by side, Amarys greeted Evrim with enthusiasm. "Hey, Evrim, have you finished all your applications?"

Evrim nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I've completed them. How have your classes been, Amarys?"

Amarys pondered for a moment before responding, "Pretty well, considering all the world-saving stuff we've got going on."

Unbeknownst to them, beneath the seemingly tranquil exterior of Midnight Hollow, a storm of conflict and confusion brewed, poised to test their newfound powers and friendships.

As they continued their journey, Amarys couldn't help but complain, "Ugh, my back is killing me!"

Evrim chimed in, "Hey, isn't that your cousin, Ner?"

Amarys confirmed, "Yeah, that's him! Let's go say hi."

Approaching Ner, who sat alone in contemplation, Amarys waved cheerily, "Hey, Ner!"

Ner looked up and greeted them, "Hey, Amarys."

Amarys introduced her friend, "Let me introduce you to my friend, Evrim."

Ner extended his hand, "Hello, Evrim."

Evrim greeted him warmly, "Hello, Ner. How are you doing?"

Ner replied with a smile, "Pretty good, actually."

Meanwhile, another student, Yazar, approached and mockingly observed Ner, "Look who we have here! Lonely Ner, sitting all alone."

Amarys quickly intervened, her tone stern, "Hey, watch it!"

Evrim added firmly, "You can't talk to someone like that."

Yazar, somewhat defensively, retorted, "What are you guys gonna do? Miss two shoes!"

Evrim attempted a soul-haunting spell, but Amarys halted her midway, cautioning, "Wait, Amarys! We can't do that. You're still new to this spell."

Evrim nodded, and Ner chimed in, "Yeah, but what else can we do?"

Amarys reassured them, "Leave it to me. Heat!"

Suddenly, a wave of intense heat enveloped them, making everyone uncomfortable.

Yazar and his companions protested, "It's too hot! Yazar, let's get out of here. We'll catch up later, Ner!"

Meanwhile, Ner observed the entire scene but had no idea.

Amarys assured her friends, "We'll meet you later."

Evrim echoed, "Yeah, see you later."

As Ner sat alone, he contemplated the strange events around him and saw his diary. He starts to read it.

In the midst of these developments, Arina decided to undertake the training of Amarys, Melody, and Evrim to further refine their abilities. Arina ordered, "Come on, ten more laps!"

Amarys protested, "Easy for you to say!"

Melody suggested, "How about a break?"

Arina, however, seemed unyielding, "But just a short one."

Melody decided to address something that had been on her mind. "Arina, don't you find it odd that Amarys and I come from the same family line?"

Evrim added her thoughts, "Melody has a point."

Amarys chimed in, "Yeah, it does seem strange. Arina, I still don't know much about this prophecy."

Arina looked thoughtful, "Guess Ms. Know-It-All doesn't know everything."

Melody redirected the conversation, "What about when you came here, Arina? You mentioned something about the Ethereal Society."

Evrim was curious, "The Ethereal what now?"

Arina explained, "The Ethereal Society. It was a secret organization formed after the fall of 'The Celestial Circle.' It was hunted by Queen Immortalia, but we believe some members may still be alive."

Amarys probed further, "And what about the 'Ethereal Circle'?"

Arina revealed, "I was the last surviving member before 'The Coven of Doom' took over."

Amarys added,“But why did they sent you here?"

Arina explained, "Because someone had to find you guys, and the Wizards couldn't all come at once."

Ner continued documenting the revelations,By reading his Diary realizing that Amarys held a key to understanding these mystical beings.

Melody raised an important question, "But why? Why the Wizards after uss??"

Arina divulged, "Realm transportation consumes a significant amount of power. Only one wizard can come at a time, unless they obtain the powers of an Angelic Fairy."

Evrim voiced his concerns, "But isn't killing an Angelic Fairy extremely difficult?"

Arina corrected him, "No, Angelic Fairies are immortal at their full potential, but both controlling and killing them are challenging tasks. You guys are still are newbies so killing you guys won't be hard like killing an Immortal"

Amarys shrugged, “Geez"

Meanwhile, in the Dark World, Nimue expressed her determination, "Those Angelic beings have no idea what they'll face. We will beat them!"

An unknown entity concurred, "You bet, Nimue."

Nimue addressed her higher-up, "Right, Your Highness."

The unknown entity declared, "Let the wizards proceed with their deeds. Soon, Ursala will provide the guidance we need."

Ner, curious and intrigued by everything he had witnessed and learned, opened his diary. As he read through his past entries, he couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease. The supernatural events he had witnessed and recorded were far more significant than he had initially believed.

The wizards of the Dark World, fueled by their sinister motives and rage, plotted in the shadows, their true intentions veiled in secrecy. Their actions would soon send shockwaves through the lives of Arina, Amarys, Melody, Evrim, and even Ner also for the new angelic Fairies to come, as they found themselves drawn deeper into a conflict that transcended the boundaries of the known world.
